Hugh Jackman Scares Fans with Old Man Instagram Post

In the case of Hugh Jackman, all he had to do was post a photo. Hugh Jackman, turning 48 this October, has a reputation for looking insane for any age. One must only think of how good he looks in Days of Future Past. But a photo published to his Instagram on August 10th is terrifying some.

In short, it looks like Hugh Jackman is prepped and ready to play "Old Man Logan". So put those conspiracies aside, as Jackman is going method. At least, so we hope.
